Seeing if anyone else is in this position and what's the best way to make it work. For years have been running SignLab 9 with VersaWorks on a VS540. I added a Roland VG2 and it won't run with VersaWorks that comes with SignLab 9. So I added VersaWorks 6. After using the SignLab built-in link...

Hello Looking for a piece of workflow advice. I am using VersaWorks with a VS-300i and now with GR-420 as well connected to the same PC/VW. I have a proprietary SW which generates PDF files that I print (using nested jobs) and contour cut in VW with VS-300i. I plan to remove the printed and...

Hello Fellow Members! I am just confused with the procurement of a Epson DX7 printhead for my Roland V640i. Two things are the main pain points, price and quality? I am from India so here its coming at an average cost of $1700 something and that too without any warranty and installation...

Has anyone here replaced their small dampers on an SP540 with large dampers? I remember having a tech out many years ago and he mentioned he can change the small dampers to the large ones. The only added benefit is the ink at hand. The metal plate fixed above the dampers will obviously be...

We have a used Roland printer/cutter. It has been a great workhorse over the years. It’s by no means perfect, however it still prints well and is a good starter printer for a shop, or a backup printer for banners, decals, etc... Priced to sell. This pic isn’t the actual printer, but it’s the...

I'm getting some cyan over spray when printing. I've done a couple of manual cleanings, followed by numerous regular cleanings, and a couple of medium cleanings. I soaked the heads overnight and did another cleaning with no improvement. All 4 print heads look decent in the print test, but when...

Hi Guys, First of all, please forgive my ignorance or stupidity if I'm going about this the wrong way. Background - We've had a VS-640 since brand new and have always used Versaworks. 1 year ago we brought in a Vutek GS2000LX Pro and it came with Fiery XF and a license for an additional...

Hey guys, Our shop has a Roland SG-540. The last few months we have been having some really terrible stipes across our prints(please see photo of the worst instance). We know very little on the maintenance and of the machine. We have found the only way to combat this issue is to do a manual...

Hey all, Just curious if anyone has input or advice for creating crop marks for my prints that I am outputting on my Epson printer, to cut on a Roland GR-640 cutter? I typically add the crop marks in Illustrator via the Cut Studio plugin, however they appear to vary a bit from the marks that...

Hello, I am new to this. We bought a second hand Roland sc-500, but unfortunatly we didn’t get the dongle with it. Can we make the machine work without a dongle? Or can we buy any software in with the dongle is included? Thanks a lot!

Does anyone know where to insert the allen key? I'm completely lost with this. Tried googling it but couldn't find anything. I am already in service menu and see the light choke cycle settings i just need to insert the allen key. Does anyone know if I insert the allen key, do I need to turn it...

Just installed my new VG2-540 yesterday. On my old SP-540v, after laminating, I would put it back through the machine, set VW to cut only and it would look for the registration marks to align before cutting. The new VG2- I printed with the alignment crop marks, laminated, put back through the...

we've been replacing cut blades at an alarming rate on our roland truevis vg-540. at first i thought it was due to too much pressure when cutting, but after replacing the strip, the blade, and dialing back the pressure, realized something else is breaking the blades. took a close look at the...

Hello Everyone, I've been looking at this particular machine to purchase next. Maybe in another year or 2, that is if our Roland Versaart RE-640 ever dies. Im looking for some insight or real-world experience with this particular model. Such as: Known Issues with the lastest Model. Prone to...

Hey! I was recently performing a height adjustment to the capping station and I noticed something weird that bothers me. The capping station has a slight (but noticable) tilt to it, that changes direction depending on the direction of travel. When moving down, it tilts slightly to the right...
